Base of Operations: Stark International,
Earth 2020;
also active on Earth X, and has visited Earth-616
on many occasions

First Appearance: Machine Man II#2 (November,
1984)

Powers/Abilities: His armor grants him
superhuman strength (Class 50?) + durability, and allows him to
fire powerful energy blasts, generate force fields, and launch
bladed shuriken-like weapons. He had a pair of rocket-skates as
well as jet for flight in his boots, and his onboard computer (SX-9)
allows him to interface with and manipulate other computer
systems, to analyze opponents, and to improve his firing
accuracy, repair damage, reboot, etc.

History:
(Machine Man II#3 (fb) - BTS) - With the apparent death of Tony
Stark, Arno purchased his company, Stark International (formerly
Stark-Fujikawa), and bought the exclusive rights to the name and
armor of Iron Man.

(Amazing Spider-Man
Annual#20) <2015> - Having developed a workable Time
Displacement Device, Arno became a front runner for Time
Magazine's "Man of the Year" award. In order to
maintain the military's backing for this award, Arno was forced
to work with them on the Weapon MK-3, the "Planet Buster"
bomb, a nuclear weapon developed in secret. After supervising a
weapons testing, the weapon within Stark International was
activated by Robert Saunders, leader of a radical anti-war
faction that sought to demonstrate the dangers of the weapon.
Sealing the plant to prevent Saunders escape, Iron Man took out
the terrorists, but Saunders' ship crashed and he was vaporized
in an explosion. Only then did Arno learn that Saunders had set a
time detonation device that could only be deactivated by
Saunders' retinal patterns.
His wife and son still inside the plant, Arno
used his time machine to travel back to the modern era of Earth-616
so that he might get a retinal scan from the young Saunders. He
emerged seconds after Saunders had been taken hostage by the
criminal Blizzard, who blasted Arno. Not having time to waste in
battle, Iron Man unleashed a blast that slew Blizzard. Arno then
prepared to scan Saunders' retina pattern, but Spider-Man mistook
his actions for an attack, and he snagged the scanner out of
Arno's hands. Iron Man blasted at Spider-Man, who dodged, but
dropped and shattered the scanner in the process. Realizing he
had no choice but to take Saunders with him, Arno then attacked
Spider-Man, attempting to make him let the kid go. When one of
Iron Man's blasts sprayed Saunders with broken glass, badly
scarring him, Spider-Man became furious, attacking Arno savagely.
Arno was caught off guard, and his armor malfunctioned, allowing
Spidey to virtually demolish his armor. Arno was suddenly time-shifted
back to 2020, only to find that the Planet Buster had already
gone off, and his main office, his wife, and his son were no more.
"Meanwhile," back in the modern era,
young Robert Saunders, disfigured from the glass, began to
contemplate revenge against the man who had ruined his life.

(X-Men/Spider-Man: Time's Arrow: Book Three
(fb) - BTS) - Stark International soon held all of the
fundamental patents in the science of robotics which were not
already held by Baintronics. After a short time of employing his
armor in defense of his company's market share, Arno's wealth
made this no longer necessary. Though he had no interest in
searching corporate America for injustices to right, he had
developed a taste for blood.
Arno placed Iron Man's services on the market,
for sale to the highest bidder. His price was high, and he
continually raised it, but it was always met. Because the jobs
that Iron Man took stayed taken. The people he was sent after
were delivered without fail into the hands of whoever met his
price. Along the way, he'd converted his site security into a
mercenary cadre that few could equal. He called them Iron-Bots,
despite them being human agents inside armor, as part of a joke
to the age of robots.

(Machine Man II#2) - After a group of Midnight
Wreckers found and reassembled Machine Man (who had been
dismantled and stored by Baintronics for decades), Sunset Bain
contacted Arno Stark, requesting his aid in recovering or
destroying her old enemy. Having already learned of this and
taken an interest, Stark had contacted Broadani, the owner of a
Video Addict (Vidiot) parlor, and set up a number of robots to
ambush them. When Machine Man and the Wreckers defeated their
attackers and escaped, Arno donned his armor and decided to get
personally involved. Donning his Iron Man armor, Arno prepared to
follow a Baintronics tracking device to the Wreckers' secret
base, Sanctuary.

(Machine Man II#3) - At Baintronics, Arno met
with Sunset Bain, and her agent, Dr. Cyclobe, gave Arno a
tracking device to follow one of the Wreckers to their secret
base, Sanctuary. He then led a squadron of mercenaries in an
aerial assault on the base. As the mercs attacked the Wreckers,
Iron Man located Machine Man and knocked him from the air with
his bladed throwing weapon. As the two fought, Iron Man remarked
that he was disappointed with Machine Man's fighting challenge (or
lack thereof), until X-51 fired his hand at Arno. Extending its
arm like a cable, the hand wrapped around Arno, releasing an anti-magnetic
null field to contain him. Arno broke free, but the effort
exhausted his energy reserves, leaving Arno helpless.

(Machine Man II#4) - Recovering and recharging,
Arno was at Sunset Bain's side when Machine Man and the Wreckers
stormed Baintronics, INC. Though, Machine Man had just come to
try to reason with Sunset, she set Arno him once again. Iron Man
battered Machine Man brutally initially, but X-51 soon became
disgusted with his attacker's anti-robot rhetoric, and fought
back. Machine Man then turned the tides, pummeling Arno. Sunset
granted Arno a reprieve by electrocuting Machine Man with a
severed high power cable, but Machine Man dragged himself to his
feet and fought anew. Machine Man continued his attack, pounding
Arno into unconsciousness.

(Death's Head I#10) - In New York the
Iron Man of 2020 is stopping a group of would-be assassins from
killing some Arab diplomats, unaware that his every move is being
observed by a tiny flying camera. Watching him as he kills his
opponents are Chance, a member of the Dicemen, and his butler
Athey. The Dicemen like to play games, manipulating others for
their own amusement, and at the moment Chance and Athey have been
using Arno Stark as one of their pawns. After his last two "spectacular
failures" (his last two appearances in the comics
probably, but not definitely), Iron Man has been finding
mercenary work in short supply, and Athey hired both Stark and
the assassins, which leaves the mercenary extremely confused when
he discovers the men he saved are not only not his employers, but
are also deeply peace-loving and horrified at his violent actions
in their defence.Chance
decides to play Stark a second time, an action Athey reminds him
is strictly against the rules of the Dicemen. They decide to pit
him against Death's Head, recently arrived in this time zone via
the Fantastic Four's time machine. Athey approaches the cyborg
and hires him to kill the diplomats, informing the freelance
peacekeeping agent that they are instead terrorists protected by
diplomatic immunity.Some time
later the diplomats arrive at their hotel, still accompanied by
Iron Man, who is desperately trying to redeem his recent
embarrassments by defending them, regardless of their
protestations that they don't want his services. As they enter
the lift, a metal hand pushes Stark back, telling him that it is
full; the bemused mercenary is left standing outside as the
elevator departs, leaving the diplomats at the mercy of the metal
hand's owner... Death's Head. Before the cyborg can execute the
two of them however, Arno lands on the roof of the conveyance and
rips open the ceiling. He is knocked flying by an energy blast
from his adversary, but swiftly returns to confront the cyborg,
who has now climbed onto the roof of the lift. A stray repulsor
ray cuts one of the two cables supporting the elevator, and
Death's Head extends his wrist blade to sever the other one. Iron
Man rams him to stop this, sending them both crashing through a
window and out of the building. They crash onto a nearby rooftop,
and before Death's Head can recover from the
impact, Iron Man manages to grab his head and rip if clean
off.The watching
Chance is peeved about this, as he had money riding on the
mechanoid winning. Iron Man meanwhile is starting to wonder who
hired him, but his reverie is interrupted when Death's Head's
body, remotely controlled by his detached head, starts pounding
on him. Having worked out his aggression at being decapitated,
Death's Head stops the attack, and the two hired guns compare
notes, swiftly discovering that they were both hired by a forty-something
Indian man with an English accent (Athey). Figuring that whoever
manipulated them was likely watching their fight, they scan for
monitoring devices, and spot the cloaked flying camera. Chance
watches in dismay as Iron Man plucks the fleeing device out the
air, and this dismay turns to terror as the two mercenaries trace
the signal back to his mansion base in mere seconds. Easily
overcoming the perimeter defences, Iron Man and Death's Head
smash their way into the house to find Chance dead, shot at close
range (by Athey, to protect the Dicemen's secrets), and the
balance of their fees laid out waiting for them. Then Stark's
sensors detect an energy build-up under the building, and the two
flee seconds ahead of a massive explosion which destroys the
entire mansion, and any evidence therein.Landing in
the grounds the two mercenaries say their farewells. Shaking Iron
Man's hand, Death's Head tells him to lay aside the doubts that
have recently plagued him. "Be sure of yourself....Strike
fast, take the money...and don't lose your head, yes?"

(Spider-Man/X-Men:
Time's Arrow: Book Three) - Following an anonymous lead (actually
courtesy of Immortus, as Lireeb, an agent of Kang the Conqueror) that the Midnight Wreckers were
active in Queens, Arno led a group of Iron-Bots to join forces
with Spider-Girl, the heroine of that part of town. Rather than
Wreckers, they encountered a time-traveling Spider-Man and Cable,
as well as their ally, Aliya of Earth-Aliya. These time-displaced
heroes had come to Earth 2020 in search of one of Kang's Time
Platforms, which would lead them to Kang's fortress, so that they
could stop his current plot. Iron Man and his allies confronted
the travelers, demanding their surrender, but then attacking them
without waiting for a response. Iron Man opened fire on Cable,
who fired back and then surprised him by rushing and knocking him
off balance. The travelers escaped briefly, but Iron Man and his
allies relocated and surrounded them. Cable agreed to surrender,
perhaps hoping to convince their assailants that they were not
who they thought they were, but Iron Man the fired an energy
blast that collapsed the roof on the travelers, and then left
them for dead.
The travelers survived, of course, and were
rescued by the real Midnight Wrecker, together with Machine Man.
Cable then used his tracker to locate the Time Platform, but they
were again discovered by Iron Man, his Iron-Bots, and Spider-Girl.
Spidey convinced the Wreckers and Machine Man to escape while
they could, and Cable worked to extract the needed information
from the Platform, which had been stripped down by others long
before.
Impressed with the survival abilities of these
"Wreckers," Iron Man thought that it might be worth
keeping them alive to sell them to that new company, Alchemax,
which was taking an aggressive stance on bioshop technology.
However, his flight was interrupted by a web-line from Spider-Man
that caused him to arc straight into a concrete wall. As he
pulled himself from the wreckage, Spidey taunted him
relentlessly, accusing him of copyright infringement, and asking
him what would happen if the real Iron Man found out what
he was doing. Iron Man played right into Spidey's hands,
attacking him in a blind rage, in which he ended up playing the
Wile E. Coyote to Spidey's Road Runner.
Iron Man then called to Spider-Girl to trade
partners, figuring she could match his speed better, and that he
himself could easily handle Spidey's female partner. Before the
swap, however, Spidey blinded Arno with a patch of webbing to the
face. The blinded Iron Man swung blindly at Aliya, shattering the
wall and ground around her, until she had time to ready her ion
cannon. Aliya fired her weapon--a microminiaturized nuclear
reactor capable of delivering ionized pulse energy in forms from
a diamond-cutter beam to a street-sweeper blast. A side effect of
the weapon was the high-frequency harmonics and Electro-Magnetic
Pulse waste that effectively scrambled an opponent's technology.
When the steam cleared, Iron Man was embedded
like a frog in a thickly-iced birthday cake in the remains of the
wall that had been behind him. His armor was badly melted, but it
did serve to protect the life of its wearer. Meanwhile, the Iron-Bots
surrendered rather than face a similar attack, unaware that
Aliya's gun did not have another charge in it.
Meanwhile, Spider-Man convinced his alternate
world daughter that he was the real deal and negotiated for
peace, and Cable obtained the needed info from the Time Platform,
allowing the travelers to leave the world of 2020.

(Fantastic Four I#405) - Just as Arno unleashed
a blast at Machine Man, he was plucked from that Earth to Earth-616
by Zarrko the Tomorrow Man to destroy Ant-Man (Scott Lang). Ant-Man
dodged the blast, though, and Stark was confused at the situation.
Lang then wrapped a steel cable around both his feet and Conan's,
and knocked him into the barbarian. Zarrko then transferred Iron
Man back to 2020.

(Avengers West Coast II#61) - Iron Man 2020 was
summoned to Earth-616 by Immortus to serve in the third Legion of
the Unliving, and to stop the West Coast Avengers. He immediately
challenged his Uncle Tony. Arno had the advantage due to his more
advanced armor, but his uncle, more knowledgeable about the suit,
eventually triumphed. He was then sent back to 2020. (see comments)

(Thor Corps#2) - Iron Man an his Ironbots
fought Machine Man and the Midnight Wreckers. A time-traveling
Thunderstrike briefly popped onto the scene, dodging blasts from
the Ironbots and Iron Man, and then returning fire with an energy
blast from his mace that sent Iron Man flying. Thunderstrike then
vanished through another portal, pulled by Beta Ray Bill.

(Avengers Forever#11) - In order to defeat the
Avengers, the Time-Keepers used the Forever Crystal to summon
Avengers from divergent realities that had turned dark and
destructive. Manipulated by the Time-Keepers and given the
order to kill, Iron Man 2020 was among these minions. Rick
Jones summoned a host of alternate-timeline Avengers to fight
them, who were from realities that had not turned destructive.

(Avengers Forever#12) - Iron Man 2020 was seen
battling various time-displaced Avengers. However, when
Captain America shattered the Forever Crystal, Iron Man 2020
returned to his native timeline, just like all the other
summoned, alternate-timeline Avengers.

(Paradise X: Heralds#1)
-Arno was brought by X-51 to his Earth X moonbase where he meets
the other Heralds. Revealed he murdered his reality's Machine Man.
X-51 sent the Heralds to various worlds, were they were to warn
those worlds' Reed Richards about the Celestial Egg within their
Earths. Arno was partnered up with Bloodstorm (of the Mutant X
reality) and they were sent to a world dominated by vampires.

(Paradise X: Heralds#2)
- Met the inhabitants of the vampire world, namely a vampire Reed
Richards who explained to them that they will be detonating a
nuclear device destroying their world. Arno was attacked by the
vampire counterpart of Tony Stark/Iron Man, whom he destroys with
a single blast to the face. Arno and Bloodstorm then returned to
the Earth X reality.

(Paradise X: Heralds#3)
- Once on the moonbase he and the other Heralds tried to prevent
the Watchers from executing Uatu. They succeeded and X-51 took
them to Earth.

(Paradise X#1) - With the other Heralds,
traveled to New New York where they encountered Officer Parker
and his daughter Venom.

(Paradise X#2) - Still
in New New York with the Heralds.

(Paradise X#4) - Met
with X-51 at the Baxter Building as X-51 explained to Wolverine (DoFP)
his "origin." (or the freaky, weirdo Earth X
version, which is the goofiest thing in a whole goody series).

(Paradise X#6) -
At the Baxter Building saves Redwing from falling to his death
and helps the other heroes fight back Annihilus' and Blastaar's
forces.

(Paradise X#7-8) - The Heralds and
Annihilus' forces were gathered by Reed Richards as he made his
way to Latveria.

(Paradise X#9) -
Revealed to Vance Astro that he was responsible on his world for
detonating an Atomic Bomb which killed millions.

(Paradise X#10) - Said
farewell to Killraven as he returned to his reality. (Killraven returned that is).

(Doom 2099#25/1) - A legion of Iron Men
observed the battle between Doom and Erik Czerny, as their clash
caused them to go crashing through several dimensions.

(She-Hulk II#2 (fb) - BTS) - Iron Man was imprisoned by the
Time Variance Authority in one of their Time Cells.

(She-Hulk II#2) - A ranting Iron Man was glimpsed by She-Hulk.

(She-Hulk II#3 - BTS) - The Two-Gun Kid was released from
another Time Cell.

(Iron Man 2020) - Arno was hired by Wellington
Marcus to rescue his daughter, Micky MacLain, from the Irkutsk
Liberation Front. Arno did so, slaying the entire Front in the
process, but as he brought Micky back, she told him that her
father was planning to unleash a computer virus that would wipe
all all systems in the world. Marcus had a cure and planned to
use the event to become exorbitantly wealthy. In addition, Marcus
intended to kill Micky as she was the only one--outside of a few
strategic employees--who knew of his plans. Arno surprised Micky
by revealing his own plan to use the virus cure she had to
preserve his own systems, and then to send Marcus to prison by
revealing his involvement. However, when Arno attempted to
renegotiate with Marcus, he instead attacked them, wearing his
own giant set of armor. Ultimately, Arno had a change of heart
and he sacrificed his own armor via the virus to destroy Marcus'
armor. Marcus was killed while trying to attacks Arno with his
malfunctioning armor.
Micky inherited her father's fortune and
company, and she proposed a relationship between herself and Arno.
In addition, Marcus' former assistant, Howard, came to work for
Arno, intending to help him rebuild his armor and teach him to be
a better man. Arno had no idea that Howard was in fact his uncle,
Tony, who had merely faked his death years before.

(Astonishing Tales II#2/2 (fb) - BTS) - Arno married Micky.

(Astonishing Tales II#1/2 (fb)) -

(Astonishing Tales II#1/2) - After locating and killing a
criminal who had stolen Stark International schematics, Arno informed SHIELD
commander Jessica Drew that the dataleak had been plugged and she could proceed
with the live trial. He then prepared for the maiden voyage of the Spirit of
Free Enterprise, an SI prototype civilian heliiner).

(Astonishing Tales II#2/2) - Arno hosted the maiden voyage of
the Spirit of Free Enterprise, attended by Madame MODOC, Warren Worthington IV,
and many of society's richest. The heliliner was confronted by Commodore Q's
ship, the CQS Vengeance.

(Astonishing Tales II#3/2) - Commodore Q's ships attacked the
Spirit of Free Enterprise, after which Commodore Q offered to let the Spirit of
Free Enterprise
go if they transferred their guests aboard the CQS Vengeance. Arno pretended to agree to his demands, then armored up and
accompanied his five (or six?) Foetal Enhancile Gold units to confront Commodore
Q.

(Astonishing Tales II#4/2) - Commodore Q sent out Sky Jumper
and Surf Jet Squads against Arno's units, who delayed them in battle, allowing
Cynthia time to locate Commodore Q's jamming signal, after which Arno
takes control of SHIELD's Howling Command and summoned it to aid him. Commodore
Q then
uncloaked his 25 other ships.

(Astonishing Tales II#5/2) - With only two of Arno's Gold
Units remaining intact, Arno had Cynthia take control of SHIELD's sensor array, learns that CQ
is the only living being in his fleet. Iron Man then entered the CQS Vengeance and
was attacked by Long Jenny, whose
Vibranium structure, charged with unknown energy proved resistant to everything
IM tried against it. Cynthia finally located the "Penultimate Nullifier" as the
countermeasure to Long Jenny's energies, and Iron Man purchased it for $
1million per minute user fee; Arno then used it, blowing her up;
CQ sets the CQS Unstoppable on a collision course with the
Spirit of Free Enterprise

(Astonishing Tales II#6/2) - CQS Unstoppable rammed the Spirit
of Free Enterprise, and Commodore Q prepared to claim the hostages. Iron Man diverted power to maintain Long Jenny's life in exchange
for her revealing Commodore Q (her grandfather)'s real name. Cynthia then located info on
Commodore Q's past, and Iron Man forced Commodore Q to
stand down in exchange for his sparing Long Jenny. He then had SHIELD destroy
Commodore Q's fleet, after which he killed Commodore Q.

Herb Trimpe.

Earth 2020 is a dimension common to a number of
beings. It was first seen in Machine Man II#1, but it soon came
to be seen to be temporary home of Death's Head (Freelance
Peacekeeping Agent), the home of Dr. Evelyn Necker (and thus
Death's Head (Minion) and his prequels, sequels, etc.), and
presumably of Wild Thing (Nikki Doyle). Unlike Earth-616 and its
sliding timescale, the world of Earth 2020 seems to be focused
around the specific era of 2020 AD, with the heroic era (equivalent
to the "Modern Era" on Earth-616) having occurred @ 30-40
years in the past.

It is extremely difficult to piece together the
chronology of
Iron Man 2020, given the fact that all but like two of his
appearances involve time or dimensional travel. Many of the
appearances involve him being pulled from an unspecified point
and then being returned without much further detail.

According to the issues, The Machine Man
series took place b/t September 23-25, 2020, though these
events may turn out to be topical.

When he showed up in F4#405, he said
"Where is Machine Man? The blast should have
destroyed him! The metal monster was standing right in
front of me moments ago!" However, as he has
apparently battled Machine Man on multiple occasions,
this does not definitively lock the appearance as
occurring during Machine Man II#3 or 4.

When he appeared in Paradise X, he
commented that he had just killed Machine Man, so perhaps
that represents a later appearance, or perhaps he only
thought he had slain Machine Man. In addition, as it was
eventually revealed that not all of the Heralds were whom
they were initially thought to represent. Spider-Girl was
not her exact counterpart from Earth-MC2, and Hyperion
was from a much darker future than Earth-S. Who even
knows about Deathlok? That chronology is such a mess--I'll
try to see if I can weave it together in the Deathlok
profile that's not too far off. So, it may be that this
is not the same Iron Man 2020 that we have seen.
At any rate, the Heralds are: Bloodstorm of Earth-Mutant X, counterpart to Storm/Ororo
Monroe, who had been turned into a vampire from Dracula's
biteDeathlok, possibly Deathlok the Demolisher of
Earth-Deathlok, or possibly just another counterpart to
him (who can tell with the way no one gives a rat's @$$
about continuityHyperion, a counterpart to Hyperion of the
Squadron Supreme of Earth-S, who had seen most of his
former allies slainIron Man 2020, or a counterpartKillraven, possibly the original version of Earth-Killraven,
but possibly a counterpart as well.Spider-Girl, a counterpart to the version from
Earth-MC2Wolverine, either the version of Earth-Days of
Future Past, or a counterpart
They were organized by X-51 of Earth X, the
counterpart to Machine ManTo be honest, I didn't give Paradise X much time, as I
had lost interest in the trilogy around the second issue
of Universe X.

Spider-Man/X-Men: Time's Arrow: The novels
are not official canon, though there is nothing to
exclude them from chronology, either. They have WAY less
continuity snafus than half of the series out now, but
that's neither here nor there. Unfortunately, since I'm
writing this after the Spidey-Pedia came out, I didn't
remember to include it in that publication. But I will
for the future, let me assure you!

The one-shot Iron Man 2020 seemed to
represent a turning point for Arno, in which--with the
aid of Howard (Tony Stark) and Micky--he might have gone
on to become a real hero, after all. Perhaps that issue
takes place as the most recent in his chronology, with
the others preceding it, but it could also be that his
attempt to be a hero fell flat, and he continued to be
the cynical capitalist he had been before.

There was
never any follow up on the Dicemen thread, or further details
about who they were. Death's Head stated he didn't care, as he
had been fully paid, but the Iron Man of 2020 doesn't strike me
as the kind of guy to leave loose ends like this one hanging.
Perhaps at some point, when Arno Stark is allowed to take centre
stage rather than being a guest star in someone else's book, we
might see them again.

In Iron Man I#250, in another alternate world @
2093, we met Andros Stark, the Iron Man of Earth-Young Arthur.
In that reality, Andros is the grandson of Arno, however, as
these events have not yet happened to Arno is his timeline,
Andros is not listed as his grandson. He is the grandson of the
Arno Stark of "Earth-Young Arthur," though their pasts
may or may not be common. Hey, since Arno Stark's son Arno, Jr. died,
then we must presume that in "Earth-Young Arthur", Arno
will have another son........ or in that timeline Arno Stark, Jr.
never died.
There are a number of possibilities. Arno sure
seems like the type to sleep around and not worry about any of
the consequences (i.e. not armoring up "Little Iron Man").
Or, possibly, he settled down with Micky/Melody--Snood.

The presence of the legion
of Iron Men 2020 in Doom 2099#25 was never expanded on. A logical
assumption could just place them as a progression of the Iron-Bots,
making that the chronological latest appearance (or close to it)
of Arno to date.

There's a great website dedicated entirely to
Arno: http://www.liquidcross.com/ironman2020/index.html.
Thanks to that site for the contribution below.
In an alternate world, Arno Stark did not
return to Earth 2020 at the conclusion of Amazing Spider-Man
Annual#20:

What If II#53: Rather than teleporting back
to 2015, the future Iron Man is arrested and jailed. Six years
later, when the news of Tony Stark's death is announced, Arno
sees his chance. He teams up with Morgan Stark, Tony's jealous
brother, to take over Stark Enterprises by framing Jim Rhodes.
Rhodes shows up in the War Machine armor, but Arno makes short
work of him, and kills him by blasting him out the window onto
the pavement far below. Later, the telepresence Iron Man armorcommanded
by Tony Stark!shows up, and forces Morgan to tell him the
whereabouts of "this new Iron Man." Tony hunts Arno
down and pounds the living hell out of him. Arno flips out, and
ends up crashing to his death. A few years later, Morgan is
hiding down south with his family, still complaining about how
Tony screwed him out of what was rightfully his. As he storms
off, his wife puts their young son Arno to bed, telling him he
can finish his Iron Man picture tomorrow.

Iron Man 2020 in Avengers West Coast#61 was supposedly only a simulacra of the real Iron Man 2020.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Arno should be differentiated from any other incarnations of Iron
Man, in other timelines, etc.
